Hey there.  Today, I want to share with you pictures from the look book of etsy shop, A Cup of Green Ginger.  One of my closest friends and her sister create this beautiful jewelry out of Seattle.  They are currently offering a 15% off discount....just in time for Christmas.  Check out their site here.  Isn't this a stunning look book?

Whether you realize it or not, you probably have at one time admired Petra Bindel's  work.  Her beautiful photography has been featured in design and retail magazines (such as Elle & Urban Outfitters), blogs, and it's all over pinterest.  Looking through her site, I even saw numerous images that I have featured on here.  Her work truly is lovely....if you have time, be sure to check out her site.

If you haven't already heard of German photographer Janne Peters, you should really check out her site here.  She has a gorgeous portfolio, I'm especially drawn to these shots.

Time is flying by and I can hardly believe R will soon be two weeks old!  It has been such a fun time for us......getting to know R's likes/dislikes, walks by the water to our favorite ice cream parlor, and lots of movie watching.  I even squeezed in a little photo shoot with my little girl, trying out a new lense.

I usually shy away from displaying family photos in color.  It can look unpolished.  Although I will always be a fan of the classic black and white, certain photos demand color.....such as a couple of pictures of Red and I from our travels.  Pictures of beautiful landscapes and mountains seem to get lost in black and white.  Most gallery walls display color in artwork rather than photographs to avoid the danger of looking cheesy.  Here are some images that dare to break the mold, and they are inspiring.
